Expelled from Church for Dancing.

A Seabright On. j. telegram says ::
Rev. A. NJ. Lake preached his farewell
sermon in the Methodist church on
Sunday. At the end of the service he
stated that members of the society who
infringed the church discipline must
be punished, and then proceeded to
read ont of the church Abram II. West
and Theodore Buckalew, for signing
the petition of the Hotel Shrewsbury for
the granting of IL license to sell liquor {;
John Erickson, for drunkenness, and
Mrs. Ida Ferry and Mrs. George A.
Phillips for dancing. The two ladies
were brides only three months ago,
and the alleged sin against the church
discipline was committed before they
were married. 1t was rumored that
General Clinton b. Fisk, late Prohibi-
ton candidate for Governor, was also
to be expelled for owning stock in the
Seabright Inn, which has a bar where
liquors are sold. This was not done,
however. General Fisk is a mining
millionaire, and gives from $500 to $500
per year towards the support of the
church. The matter has created a great
deal of feeling in the village, as Mr..
West was one of the organizers Of the
church several years ago, and has been
one of its staunehest members. Mr..
Buckalew has also been active in the
work of the church. Both men are
prominent in the business circles of the
town. The ladies are well-known,
popular, and have the esteem of the
entire community.

NINA SEES HER ACCUSE.
The sheriff Gives In-AGectionatc
Embrace of Finger Ends.

A Chicago special says: Nina Van
Zandt. or " Mrs. August Spies, as she
insists on being called, scored a victory
this morning over the law officers whom
her proxy-husband has so often de-
nounced. After hard fight she sue
ceeded in securing an interview with
her August in the Jail. About 9 o'clock
Nina walked into the jail building with
a sprightly step and confident air. She
presented an order from the sheriff and
was allowed to pass. 1t was the hour
when the prisoners are let ont of their
cells. Spies was walking in the corridor
when his name was called. When he
saw who il was he fastened his steps.
Nina had taken a position in corner
of the cage next to the wall with her
face close to the wire grating.
august" she said in soft, low
tone.
china" said her lover, in a voice
full of affection.
She put one finger through the grating
and he squeezed it. That was the near
est they could come TO an embrace.
L nc palI eVOou tloIV apparently o"h'i
GUS of everything for three quarters OF
an hour with their heads close together,
and talked the whole time. A few min
utos before 10 o'clock she put her finger
through the bars again to be squeezed,
and bidding August goodbye tripped
out with happy smile on her face.
Jailer Folz says he will allow Nina to
visit Spies twice IA week. Nina sue
ceeded in having Sheriff Matson's or.
der keeping her out of the jail revoked
by extreme persistence. The Sheriff
had hardly a chance for weeks to get a
good nights rest on account of the i'm
portunities of the young woman and
her female friends, and when he could
stand the pressure no longer he gave

Late Minister of War. Alleged TO be
Dying frorn Torture Inflicted
tn Prison.

The report printed in the Paris
Temps that the political prisoners ar
rested in Sofa for participation IN the
recent revolt were whipped with knouts
during the entire night following their
arrest; that NJ. Karaveloff Is dying
from the effects OF the knouting he re-
ceived, and that five officers have
already died from the effects of their
punishment. while denic1 is not dis
proved. Nothing is known at the Rus
sian Legation in Washington regarding
the fate of Karaveloff, and while it Is
improbable the story of the cruelty al
legged to have been practiced on him
may be true.
Peter Karaveloff, of whom we print a
portrait, was born in 1910. lie re-
ceived his early education at Moscow,
and took his degree in the University
of Dorpat, becoming subsequently
teacher at the Gymnasium Of Philip
popolis. At the outbreak of the Russo
Turkish war karavelof was appointed
Vice. Governor Of Widdin, and in 1879
he was elected deputy. He is CON
sidered the author of the Constitution
adopted at Tirnova. Karaveloff be-
came member Of all the ministries
succeeding the first one, but in 1881 re-
tired to Rhilippopolis, where he became
city Judge and professor and organized
the National party. He exercised con-

MARCH 10, 1887.
The Board Of Directors of the Bald
win District Fair finished up the bust
ness in hand last night. In addition to
the members previously reported in
attendance, Messrs. Bird, of Highland,
and Patterson and Donald, Of Augusta,
were in attendance yesterday. II was
nearly full Board. Good interest was
manifested. and there is every reason 10
think the coming fair will, as the one
last fall was, be entirely successful.
Several members from the border coun:
ties of the district said it would excel
the last in interest. The premium lists
were completed, and all preliminary
work arranged. The time fixed for the
exhibition is the week previous TO the
State Fair, commencing Tuesday.

Planning Forgeries by wholesale.

A San Francisco special says. An
expert forger, who had planned an ex-
tensive campaign on this coast. was ar
rested few days ago by detectives and
was turned over yesterday to Detective
Pratt, of Arlington, Mass, who had eX-
tradition papers for William D. Reed,
charged with forging endorsements to
81, coo checks. 1t seems that he forged
the name of +. p. Reed to a check for
81, GOO purporting to have been drawn
on the National Bank of New York. lie
presented the check at the Brockton
Mass National Bank and was told that
he must get the cashiers check from the
New York bank. He returned in few
days with the required check and was
paid the amount. A few days later it
was found to be forgery. Reed came
here by way of Panama, under the
name of Arthur L. Franklin. He gave
two checks to the Pacific Bank for col
lection one for 80, 1000 was drawn on
the Union Trust Company, of New
York. He also deposited with Croker,
Woolworth a. Co., ten certificates OF
deposit of $500 each purporting to be
signed by Cashier Doremus, Of the
Chatham National Bank, showing that
the bearer. A. l.. Franklin, had de-
posted that amount in the bank. He
also presented sight draft on the
Chatham Bank for $1,000 for collec-
ton.
To back his credit he produced a
strong letter of recommendation from
G. Burnham, of the Baldwin Locomo-
tive-Works, Philadelphia, who said that
Franklin was his nephew and had
$4,000 to his credit in the Union Trust
Company. Another forged letter from
Cashier Lee, of the Second National
Bank of Philadelphia, gave him All in
PRODUCTION to Cashier Brown, of the
Bank of California. The detectivesdis-
covered that the letter-heads on which
several of the forged letters had been
written were printed in this city. Reed
evidently intended to swindle banks
here and then go to Mexico, as he had
number of papers about Mexican
mines. He is an expert telegrapher.
He was convicted of forgery in Abing-
ton, Mass, but while out on bonds fled
the State. He is only thirty-five.

rcorcspOndonce Of the Richmond Dlspa,ch.I

Correspondence OF tne hicnmond Dispaich-l
PETERSBURG, Va, March 10, 1887.
William Alfred Langston, said to be a
citizen of Richmond, was before the
MAYORS Court this morning charged as
one of the principals in the recent high
way assault and robbery of Mr.. j. T.
Hughes, the mail-carrier. Judge II.
II. Jones & Son appeared as counsel
for the accused. The main facts in this
case have already been given IN this
correspondence. While the robbery
was very bunglingly executed, yet it was
of a character TO rather startle the com
munity. The fact thata man should be
knocked down and robbed in the street
near the heart of the city was not
relished. Mr.. Hughes in his testi-
mony fully identified Langston as one
of the parties who were walking around
with him the night OF the affair. Which
of the parties threw the cloak over his
head, which of them struck him or
threw him down or robbed his person,
he could not say. When the assault
was committed he was walking just in
advance of the parties. His iden-
tification of Langston as one OF
the parties who were with him
was positive. Other witnesses were
introduced, and their testimony
went to corToborate Mr.. Hughes's
statement that four persons were with
him in the walk they took. Mr.. Nc
Culloch, the guard at the Petersburg
Iron-Works, said he saw four men throw
n cloak over the head of fifth man and
throw him to the ground. He could
not get TO the spot in time to see who
they were. 1t was also i'll testimony
that one of the parties under arrest pur-
chased quantity of laudanum at a
drugstore on Old street, but as Lang
ston was not the one who bought it, this
was not considered i'll his case. Lang
ston was sent on to be tried mt the April
term of the Hastings Court and COM
mitted to jail without bail. The other
three cases will be heard tomorrow.
Hon. John S. Wise and several north-
ern friends were in the city to-day.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT MATTERS.
In my last letter mention was made
of the trial of j. II. Moody, a white
man, in the County Court Of Greens
Vile, on an indictment charging him
with HOUSEKEEPING. The jury found
him guilty and fixed his sentence at
two years in the penitentiary. A sad
feature about the case is that Moody is
a gray-headed old man. But for his
advanced age it is thought the jury
would have given him heavier SEN
tCnce.
Peter Foster (colored), who was con-
victed on Monday of assault, with felo
NOUS intent, and obtained a new trial,
was arraigned second time yesterday.
He pleaded guilty and was sentenced
to confinement i'll the penitentiary for
one year.
